Good 1440p monitor under 400$

[WIPGamer]

I would like a 1440p monitor for under 400$ What would be my best bet If I want it for gaming.

I don't really need excellent color, i would rather get stuff for gaming.

Also If some one would please answer this thread,

No sense in a 6600K CPU with a non Z170 mobo, On the 1440 take a look at the BenQ

Okay, For the monitor, but what mobo

What about this http://www.amazon.com/PB278Q-27-Inch-LED-lit-Professional-Graphics/dp/B009C3M7H0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394929266&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Yamakasi+1440p

The Asus monitor would be a great choice Mobo I'd look at the Z170-A or if budget permits the Z170 Hero, that was my pick and I love it so far, has taken all I've thrown at it (paired with the 6600K like you are looking at)

If I add even the Z170-A I go 60 dollars over budget.
.
Any fix to this? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/WIPGamer/saved/GvmMnQ

With the Z97 A at $114 itf that $60 over budget, then you only have $54 for a mobo? Many cut back on the SSD to a 240 or something, tough decision

 

[WIPGamer]

Does the motherboard affect performance much? If so, I might just shell out the extra 60$

When thinking Z170 vs the lower non-OCing mobos - yes
